Tampa Bay Rays "Tap to Win" Raffle Official Rules

NO CONTRIBUTION OR PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. The Tampa Bay Rays Baseball Club ("Sponsor") is sponsoring a single-prize chance drawing ("Raffle") to be conducted at each Tampa Bay Rays Major League Baseball regular season home game ("Game") played between the dates of June 24, 2013 and September 23, 2013 (the "Raffle Period"), at Tropicana Field (the "Stadium"), One Tropicana Drive, St. Petersburg, Florida 33705, during a time period at each Game (the "Entry Period") beginning at the time gates open to the public for that particular Game and ending at the time the last out is made in the bottom of the third inning of that Game. If for any reason the Entry Period for a particular Game commences but the Game is postponed or cancelled prior to the completion of six innings of play, then the Entry Period shall be deemed to have ended at such time as an announcement is made by the Rays over the Stadium's Public Address System that the Game has been postponed or cancelled, and the drawing will be held at such time later that date as the Sponsor shall determine in its sole discretion. A list of Games scheduled to be played at the Stadium during the Raffle Period and the time gates open to the public for each Game are available at www.raysbaseball.com or by telephone at (727) 825-3137 during the Sponsor's regular business hours (the "Sponsor Business Hours") as set forth in the Section entitled "Sponsor" below. Major League Baseball Game dates and times and gate opening times are determined in the sole discretion of the Office of the Commissioner of Baseball and/or the Tampa Bay Rays, as applicable, and are subject to change. If a scheduled Game is not played for any reason, there will be no Raffle conducted on the date of that Game.

ELIGIBILITY: At time of entry, entrants must be at least 18 years of age. Sponsor has the right to request photo identification from any person desiring to enter the Raffle. Raffle is void where prohibited by law, rule or regulation. All federal, state and local laws and regulations apply. Employees of Sponsor, and members of their immediate family and residents of their household, are not eligible to enter. "Immediate family" includes only an employee's spouse, parents, children and employee's siblings living in the same household.

TO ENTER: No purchase or contribution is necessary to enter or to win. To enter a Raffle, an eligible entrant must do at least one (1) of the following during the Entry Period of the Raffle he or she desires to enter

Go to any entry gate at the Stadium and scan a Burst Pass registered with Sponsor under his or her name to gain entry to the Stadium for that Game using the Burst Pass paperless ticketing system. It is the entrant's responsibility to properly load a valid ticket for that particular Game onto a Burst Pass registered under his or her name and present it at the entry gate to be scanned at an RFID reader. If a ticket is not valid or is not properly loaded onto a Burst Pass registered under entrant's name, or the Burst Pass is not properly scanned and validated at an RFID reader, entry into the Raffle will be refused. Only the person to whom a Burst Pass is registered according to the records of Sponsor at the time it is scanned for entry into the Stadium will be deemed to be entered into the Raffle for that Game, even if that person did not personally use the Burst Pass to enter the Stadium.

Use a Burst Pass registered with Sponsor under his or her name to make a total of at least $10 (ten dollars) in eligible concessions and/or merchandise purchases at participating stands at the Stadium that accept the Burst Pass as a form of payment ("Qualifying Purchases"). It is the entrant's responsibility to properly load funds into the account associated with a Burst Pass registered under his or her name and present it at the eligible concession or merchandise stand(s) as payment for the Qualifying Purchases. If funds are not properly loaded into the Burst Pass account or the Burst Pass is not successfully used to complete the Qualifying Purchases for any reason whatsoever, entry into the Raffle will be refused. Only the person to whom a Burst Pass is registered according to the records of Sponsor at the time it is used to make the Qualifying Purchases will be deemed to be entered into the Raffle for that Game, even if that person did not personally use the Burst Pass to make the Qualifying Purchases.

Go to the Gate 3 Burst Bass Services Table described in the "Sponsor" section below and request and complete an Official Tampa Bay Rays "Tap to Win" Raffle Entry Form ("Entry Form"), and return it to an eligible Sponsor representative at the Gate 3 Burst Pass Services Table. The Entry Form must be fully completed and include the entrant's valid name and contact information including current mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address. If an Entry Form is not fully and/or properly completed, is illegible, is not properly returned during the Entry Period, or is otherwise deemed ineligible in the sole discretion of the Sponsor, entry to the Raffle will be refused.

Eligible entrants may be entered into a Raffle a maximum of one (1) time per each method of entry, except that an entrant may be entered into a Raffle a maximum total number of two (2) times. No other method of entry will be accepted. Use of the Burst Pass paperless ticketing system to enter the Stadium or use of a Burst Pass to make purchases at the Stadium during the Raffle Period constitutes the entrant's full and unconditional agreement to and acceptance of these rules, terms and conditions, including all entry requirements. If you wish to opt out of the contest, please see a Sponsor representative during the Entry Period at the Gate 3 Burst Pass Services Table.

DRAWING AND NOTIFICATION OF PRIZE WINNER:Following the conclusion of the Entry Period, a random drawing of all eligible entries received during the applicable Entry Period will be held to select one entrant as the potential winner of the Raffle ("Potential Winner"). The name of the Potential Winner will be announced over the Stadium's Public Address System and shown on the Stadium Scoreboard (collectively, the "Notifications") prior to the beginning of the top of the seventh (7th) inning of the Game being played at the Stadium on that date. The Potential Winner will be directed via the Notifications to bring a photo identification to the Gate 3 Burst Pass Services Table within thirty (30) minutes (the "Gameday Delivery Time") after the time the Notifications are made (said time being determined by the Sponsor in their sole discretion). Entrants need not be present to win. Following the Gameday Delivery Time, the Potential Winner will be notified at the e-mail address, postal address, and/or telephone number (in the sole discretion of Sponsor) under which his or her Burst Pass account was registered with Sponsor at the time the Burst Pass was scanned at a Stadium entry gate or used to make the Qualifying Purchases, or he or she provided on his or her Entry Form ("Additional Notification"). Upon presentation of valid photo identification, and subject to verification of eligibility and compliance with the terms of these Official Rules, the Potential Winner will be declared the winner of the Raffle ("Raffle Winner"). Sponsor will award the Prize (as defined herein) only upon verification of the Raffle Winner in Sponsor's sole discretion. Any transportation required for the Raffle Winner to receive the Prize shall be the Raffle Winner's sole responsibility and will not be furnished or paid for by Sponsor. If the Potential Winner has not complied with these Official Rules based on the sole discretion of Sponsor, the Prize will be forfeited and shall be retained by Sponsor. In the event the Potential Winner does not accept the Prize or is disqualified for any reason, the Grand Prize will be forfeited and shall be retained by Sponsor. In the event that any Potential Winner does not respond to the Notifications or Additional Notification within ten (10) days of issuance (the "Claims Period") for any reason whatsoever, a disqualification will result and the Prize (as defined herein) will be forfeited and shall be retained by Sponsor. Upon prize forfeiture, no compensation will be given to the potential winner. Decisions by Sponsor as to Raffle Winner eligibility and acceptance or disqualification will be final and binding.

If the Prize has not been awarded prior to the end of the Claims Period in accordance with the procedures set forth above, the Prize will be forfeited and shall be retained by Sponsor. The Prize will not be awarded to any other person.
